Keynote speaker

The amazing Nic Hamilton
Born with cerebral palsy, Nic was told as a child that he would spend his life in a wheelchair. Undaunted, he set about a gruelling programme of training and by the age of 17 he could not only walk unaided but he could start to fulfil his dream of becoming a racing driver.
In a famously competitive and tough sport, Nic has established himself as a potential future champion and will be sharing his inspirational story and belief that ambition is limited only by attitude.
